I usually see a few three wheelers for sale every month.
from a hundred bucks for parts machines to over 1,000
for really nice ones.

In the last few months, it's been true parts machines for 3-500
with flat tires, to well over a grand for stuff with busted fenders
and 'ran when parked'.

I hope this isn't a new trend.

Summer is usually more scarce or higher prices than winter but this is very
different.

it's been like that up here in Canada as well, the bike that are worth $100 are starting at $300-$400 and a good running trike with cracked up fenders, rip up seats and flat tires are going for $700-$1000. A beat up 250r or 350x goes for at least $2000-$2500

If your lucky enough to find a R here you had better be on it within a half hour to a hour of it being posted or its GONE! That is 85/86R.....

Still fairly available around here. But the laws of supply and demand say ,they should continue to get more scarce.

Here in southeast Arkansas you can see them sitting out in peoples yards if you drive down the highways, your bound to see two or three, but normally this is in the fall.

Yeah Tri' but the few good ones I have seen recently were unreal, like that Big Red I posted. I keep thinking about throwing an offer out on this one- http://medford.craigslist.org/mcy/3180231285.html

Wish I still lived in bellvue Washington. I assume that bike is in Oregon? I didn't see a price. I assume 1300 would probably take it. I like it!

We've even found a few in the front yard 'cause the whole town knows we like 'em and it's cheaper to drop them in our field than running them to the dump.

You should see my apple orchard.

I used to keep them covered so as not to attract more
like the duck decoys.

Maybe the world has finally come to their senses.

(I hope not)

Here in NC I've seen 3 200x's for sale in the last 6 months (one of em is now mine hehehe), and I havent seen a 350x in ages. Never seen a Tri-Z on craigslist here before, I got mine through a tip from a member on here. You can find air fooler R's pretty commonly especially 84's, but you never see liquid R's for under $2000 if you see em at all. utility trikes are a dime a dozen around here though. You can't give away a 200s or 185s around here. Its sad because I just started getting back into trikes again recently after a year long break. I want a tree fiddy x!
